The BBC put together a website where you enter your birthdate and it tells you approximately where you fit in to the world’s population.

For example, someone who was born on January 1st, 1982 is the four billionth, 572 millionth, 566 thousandth, 117th person. Check it out at Here!

If there’s one thing I’d trust American children with, it’s figuring out how to get their hands on as much candy as possible.

Which is why this “Reader’s Digest” list of 10 secrets of getting the best trick-or-treating haul should be treated as gospel . . . because it’s based on interviews and surveys with actual American kids.

#1.) The “cuter” the costume, the more candy you’ll get.

#2.) Pillowcases hold twice as much candy as plastic grocery bags, and three times as much as the classic orange pumpkin. And if you decorate your pillowcase, people won’t think you’re just trying to be greedy.

#3.) If there are little kids at a door ahead of you, move on. They’ll take forever to choose their candy and just slow you down.

#4.) Strike early. The good candy always goes first. There’s no reason to be the last people out trick-or-treating.

#5.) BUT . . . if you do see some houses that still have their lights on late, swing by. The person may want to unload everything and give you a handful instead of a single piece.

#6.) Lots of decorations in the yard are a sign of high-budget candy. The family there clearly cares about Halloween.

#7.) See if you can get your dad or a friend’s dad to chaperone you. Moms focus too much on manners. Dads respect the quest to get as much candy as possible. They’re also willing to stay out later than moms.

#8.) Plan your route, figure out your shortcuts, and . . . even though adults may tell you not to . . . run, don’t walk.

#9.) The best candy is usually at the bottom of the bowl. When the person filled up their bowl, their instinct was to open the best candy first, so it’s at the bottom.

#10.) Before you go out, tell your parents you just want to grab a few things from your OWN house’s candy supply. As long as you don’t overdo it, you can get a few pieces of the best stuff before the bowl gets picked over.

A guy in northern Minnesota grew a 1,465-pound pumpkin this year . . . and used it to crush a MINIVAN over the weekend. Which is awesome. Someone also dropped one on a minivan at a pumpkinfest in Maine a couple weeks ago.

Here’s a rundown of the five types of Halloween candy with the most calories, and the five with the least. We went with the “fun size” versions, since that’s what most people hand out.

The five with the most calories are . . .

1. Snickers Peanut Butter, 130 calories.

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups . . . the mini ones with the gold foil, 110 calories each.

3. Take Five, 100 calories.

4. Whoppers, also 100 calories. And you only get THREE of them.

5. A three-way tie between 100 Grand bars, Peanut Butter M&M’s, and Reese’s Nutrageous bars. All of them are 95 calories.

Now here are the five fun size candies with the fewest calories . . .

1. Sweet Tarts. Each one is five, and you get two of them. So, 10 calories.

2. Charleston Chews, 30 calories.

3. Jelly Bellys, 35 calories per pack. Each jellybean has about four calories.

4. Milk Duds, 40 calories.

5. A tie between Mike and Ike’s, and Nerds. They’re both 50 calories.

I am one those people who shouldn’t whip or nae nae… And so is this guy!

An ad for a car dealership in Wichita, Kansas is going viral, because the owner decided to do the “Whip / Nae Nae” dance in it. He looks like he’s in his 50’s, and tells people to come in to, quote, “pick out your whip, so you can Nae Nae,” which is a decent line.

But then he dances for about 25 seconds. And it’s basically on par with lame dad-dancing.

If you wanna up your Halloween game with some fake blood this year, you don’t have to go out and buy it. You can make buckets of it with just four ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen.

Here’s what you need . . .

Eight ounces of water . . . 16 ounces of powdered sugar . . . a one-ounce bottle of red food coloring . . . and a tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it a nice dark red.

That’ll almost fill a pitcher, so cut it down if you want to make less than that. But if you mix those four things together, you should end up with something that looks just as realistic as the stuff they sell at stores.

Plus it’s non-toxic, so you don’t have to worry about your kids eating it.

And even if you have to buy everything, it shouldn’t cost more than ten bucks to make.

Here’s a video of how to make it.

It’s now a fact that leggings are nipping at the heels of jeans for the most popular outerwear for women, but not everyone thinks that they are a true replacement for a proper pair of pants.
Jamie Higdon Randolph from Cleveland, Tennessee, has gained hundreds of thousands of fans after posting a sassy video message on Facebook directed at women who like to wear ‘leggins’ as pants, entitled simply Leggings Ain’t Pants‬.

A new survey came up with the formula for a perfect night of sleep. Don’t worry . . . there’s no math required. Which is good, because I’m pretty sure the anxiety from forcing you to do math to sleep would lead to a bad night of sleep.

Here are all of the elements for the best possible night of sleep . . .

1. Go to bed at 10:37 P.M.

2. Use two pillows.

3. Use the thickest comforter you can buy.

4. Wear cotton pajamas.

5. Wear socks.

The survey also found people sleep an average of 40 minutes less from October through February than they do during warmer months.

Our oversensitive culture is now a snake eating its own tail.

According to the Inclusive Excellence Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it’s no longer politically correct to use the term “politically correct.”

Why?  They say it, quote, “has become a way to deflect, [and say] that people are being too ‘sensitive’ and police language.”  They didn’t propose an alternative term to use instead.

They also say the word “lame” should be eliminated because it, quote, “reduces the experiences of individuals living with physical disabilities to a punch line.”

Other words and phrases they don’t like include “third world,” since it implies some countries are inferior . . . “crazy,” since it’s offensive to people with mental illness . . . and “man up,” since it’s sexist.

A ridiculous ad for a lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas named Bryan Wilson is going viral, because he  went way over-the-top with it.

It starts with him doing wheelies on a motorcycle . . . he screams everything he says . . . and he calls himself the “Texas Law Hawk”, so it’s filled with hawk sound effects.
